I think the most influential guitarist was either Angus Young or Brian May. Both of them are great guitarists. But know one ever seems to remember Gary Richraff. The stuff he plays is just mind-blowning. But know one seemed to pay attention to him, and therefore, he wasnt influential, but just damn great!

Richard Blackmore is better than Jimmy Page.

And those of you who say EVH, he was influenced very heavily by Jimmy Page, so thats who I'm gonna go with.

Fail, the problem with Jimmy is that he hasn't influenced as much people as EVH.

I hate to put you down on this, but the biggest influence to EVH is Eric Clapton, not Page.
